Biden won't travel to Milwaukee to accept nomination
By Julia Manchester - 08/05/20 12:04 PM EDT

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden will not travel to Milwaukee to accept the party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention due to concerns about the surging coronavirus.

Biden will instead accept the nomination from his home state of Delaware.

The development marks the latest impact the pandemic has had on the party nominating process in the U.S. ahead of November's general election.


"From the very beginning of this pandemic, we put the health and safety of the American people first," DNC chair Tom Perez said in a statement.

Did some Presidential candidate in the late 19th Century decline to campaign by travelling around the country, a "Front Porch Campaign"? Hmmm, looks like several did, successfully, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_porch_campaign . Anyway, Biden looks to be trying to do a Basement Campaign.
